Differences between a cult and a religion
(attributed to the Cult Information Service Inc.)
Cult
- Deceit in recruitment
- Totalitarian society
- Destroys family unit
- Isolates membership
- Keeps non-believers out
- Intimidates critics
Religion
- No deceit in recruitment
- Allows freedom of thought
- Promotes the family unit
- Does not isolate members
- Encourages participation
- Welcomes criticism
I thought the Church of Virus was a cult, but it turns out
it is one of a very few religions in the world.
